The export, step by step (example: YouTube Shorts, 1080p vertical, 30 fps)

InShot pitfalls
- InShot does not publish an export help page and offers no bitrate number. For a strict size cap, compress the result with HandBrake.
- Every re-export adds compression. Export once from the original clips.
- The free version adds a watermark; removing it is a paid option.
